BJP slams Dr Farooq, accuses him of being Pakistan’s spokesman

Jammu, May 9: BJP’s National General Secretary, Tarun Chugh, has accused prominent families like Gandhi-Nehru and Abdullah-Mufti of perpetuating a system of plunder rather than democracy in Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaking during a tour of Poonch, Chugh didn’t hold back as he lambasted these influential families, describing them as a curse on democracy. He drew parallels between their dynastic rule and a hereditary monarchy, denouncing their grip on power as detrimental to the democratic process.
Accompanied by notable figures such as former Deputy Chief Minister Dr. Nirmal Singh and State President Ravinder Raina, Chugh convened a significant meeting at the BJP district office. As per the party spokesman, the gathering aimed to strategize and galvanize party functionaries and booth heads in preparation for the impending elections.
During the meeting, Chugh took aim at Farooq Abdullah, urging him to desist from assuming the role of Pakistan’s spokesperson. He rebuked Abdullah for recent statements regarding Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities, asserting India’s sovereignty over every inch of territory, particularly in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). Chugh also criticized the tendency of certain politicians, including Mehbooba Mufti and Farooq Abdullah, to praise Pakistan and China.
Emphasizing India’s strength under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chugh reiterated the nation’s commitment to safeguarding its citizens and interests. His remarks underscored the BJP’s firm stance on national security and its readiness to confront external challenges. (KNO)
